Share photos privately from "My Photos" inside Yahoo! Mail

Sometimes I host parties. At those parties, sometimes, a lot of wine is consumed, and sometimes a lot of pictures are taken. I want to share those pictures with the people who were there at the party, but there are too many photos to attach to email, and they're—ahem!—too private to share on Facebook. Now I have a alternative that works, directly inside my Yahoo! Mail: Photo Pages from Xoopit's My Photos application.

Our team has been hard at work on this new set of features, which we're proud to release this week for Yahoo! Mail. Xoopit's My Photos application is now not only the place to see all the photos that you have in your email, it's the easiest place for you to share private photos with your friends and family. Upload and send out piles of pictures of your new baby, photos from your dinner parties, or anything else, without worrying about attachment limits or distant acquaintances seeing them.

The receiver of the shared photos will get a link to a beautiful page with just the photos you want to share. (You can always deactivate that link if you want to.)

Best of all, all the uploaded photos become part of your My Photos collection in the application, so you can keep them and share again them with others later.
